What vaccines and immunizations do you need for global travel? - WorldAware

When it comes to public health, one of the easiest ways to avoid becoming susceptible to disease
that is widespread in many populations is to ensure that you’re vaccinated against diseases that are
preventable. Authorities can mandate certain vaccine programs to keep their citizens healthy;
however, vaccine programs face many challenges. People opt out of these immunizations for a
variety of reasons, and in many areas, ongoing programs are offset by funding decreases, mass
population movements, refugee concerns, and security issues that affect delivery to vulnerable
populations.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 50 percent of
international travelers become ill during their trips to developing countries; some of these illnesses
are preventable.
